Introduction Text Welcome to my Sparkpage!! Update Mar 10, 2021 I chose to post 4 of my goals for 2021 on my banner. As of last week I have now walked to our mailbox 3 times. My doctor is elated. My task was to start out trying to do it every other day. He told me to give myself a few weeks to be able to walk that far successfully 3 times in one week. I fooled him, I did it the first week! This week I am walking 2 days on 1 day off and 2 days on. I still have to use my walker but the hope is my lungs and back get strong enough that I can walk with just my cane by the end of Summer. My word anagram for this year is FAB!!! F - Faith that God will see me through A - Action; I have to take action and do my part B - Believe - Believe in myself Keep Sparkling my friends and be FAB!! Update: Jan 14, 2021 My health is still not well. Of course it is not going to improve. But if I could get some of this weight off it might make increase my quality of life and extend my length of life as well. There are 2 words that I have chosen to be my favorite words but not just for this year, for always. They are Believe and Faith. My plan for success has not changed much. The only thing I am changing is the length of time on exercise. 1. Drink my Slimfast for Breakfast daily 2. Prepare healthy lunch at home each day 3. Practice mindfulness for 15 minutes 4. Tai Chi 15 min, Cardio 30 min 15 Stretch or Tai Chi 5. Track everything I put in my mouth 6. Eat 2 fruits/vegetables 7. Drink at least 8 glasses of water 8. Plan my menu for the next weeks 9. Do something for me for at least 15 minutes 10. Spend quality time with DH May your Star always Shimmer and Shine!! Keep Sparkling!! Updated June 11, 2000 A lot has changed since I first made my page. My health has deteriorated. I am going for adouble heart cath tomorrow (June 12). The presumption is that I have CHF. I will update again once I have answers. For now here is my plan for each day. 1. Drink my Slimfast for Breakfast daily 2. Prepare at least 1 healthy meal at home each day 3. Practice mindfulness for 15 minutes 4. Exercise for 20 minutes 5. Track everything I put in my mouth 6. Eat 2 fruits/vegetables 7. Drink at least 8 glasses of water 8. Plan my menu for the next week 9. Do something for me for at least 15 minutes 10. Spend quality time with DH I will review this list weekly to see if it needs amending May God bless you and keep you on your journey! Keep Sparkling! Update: No CHF!! Yay! But the tests continue to find what is going on. I plan to continue living my plan day by day with God at my side. Keep Sparkling!

To live each day to the fullest and shine brighter than any other Star in the night sky!!

My favorite quote... "Call Yourself Look deep in the mirror And say "I LOVE YOU" And immediately An electric current will Ripple throughout your soul And burst through your eyes Like Shooting Stars Dancing across the sky In ecstasy. To tell your soul you love it - Is like remembering WHO YOU ARE After being in a coma For a hundred years. Your face will beam the light of a hundred galaxies." By: Suzy Kassem
